Hi Elizabeth,

I don't know too much about you other than the fact that you are one of the most intelligent, well-informed, articulate people on PB. I don't know what size city you moved to, but if it is a fairly large city, perhaps there are other doctors available to you? In years past, I would stay with doctors who weren't right for me (just as I used to stay with boyfriends who weren't right for me), and I would try to change them into the perfect doctor or perfect "parent" instead of seeing them for what and who they were. This only made matters worse. If you can, I really think it's best to try to find someone else. A long term doctor-patient relationship has to work. It has to feel right. It has to "click." The mutual trust that is required for the long term relationship will take time, but if you continue to feel uncomfortable with that woman for more than a few more weeks, then you have to leave. It's clear that you are having enough pain and enough difficulty in other areas of your life, and you don't need her to be the source of yet another problem.
